Name _____________________ The Human Cheek Cell Write a short description of each of the following: --cell membrane --cytoplasm --nucleus --organelle Procedure: 1.Gently scrape the inside of your cheek with the flat side of a toothpick. 2. Rub the toothpick on a clean slide. 3. Add a small drop of water and cover with a cover slip. 4. Observe the cells on low, medium, and then high power. 5. Once you think you have located a cell, switch to high power and refocus. (Remember; do NOT use the coarse adjustment knob at this point) ---Sketch the cell at low, medium, and high power. Label the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane. Draw your cells to scale. Low Medium High 6. Gently scrape the inside of your cheek with the flat side of a toothpick. 7. Rub the toothpick on a clean slide. 8. Add a small drop of iodine and cover with a cover slip. 9. Observe the cells on low, medium, and then high power. 10. Once you think you have located a cell, switch to high power and refocus. (Remember; do NOT use the coarse adjustment knob at this point) ---Sketch the cell at low, medium, and high power. Label the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane. Draw your cells to scale. Low Medium High 11.Why is iodine necessary? 12.The light microscope used in the lab is not powerful enough to view other organelles in the cheek cell. What parts of the cell were visible? 13. List 2 organelles that were NOT visible but should have been in the cheek cell. Skin Cell Lab Procedure: 1. Wash the underside of a wrist that will be sampled for epidermal cells with soap and water. 2. Stick a clean piece of clear tape on the underside of the washed wrist. 3. Gently remove the piece of tape from the wrist being careful to avoid getting fingerprints on the tape. A forceps might help to remove the tape and avoid fingerprinting the tape. 4. Place the tape, sticky-side up, on a clean microscope slide. 5. Stain the top, sticky side of the tape with 2 or 3 drops of iodine solution. 6. Use a dissecting needle to gently place a cover slip over the sticky tape. Lower the cover slip down onto the tape and then remove the dissecting needle. This should help prevent staining your fingers. Caution: Use iodine carefully. It will stain most items including skin, clothing, and tabletops. 7. Examine the slide under a microscope. Look for cells with low power first, and then switch to medium and high power for details. 8. Once you think you have located a cell, switch to high power and refocus. (Remember; do NOT use the coarse adjustment knob at this point) ---Sketch the cell at low, medium, and high power. Label the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane. Draw your cells to scale.
